I think that this film is great!! This is my best film!! top marks!

:D

This film deserves its rating for its unassumingly humane portrayals from both its lead actors (Oscar nominee Ryan Gosling and promising newcomer Shareeka Epps) and for its simple yet intriguingly complex subject matter. 'Half Nelson' explores the things in people's lives that grip them like a vice and never let go. Whether it be clinging to past loves and relationships and fierce idealism or drug addiction and a painfully awkward adolescence in an every increasingly violent world, the cyclical nature of life is conveyed in these snapshots of life through the eyes of a young black teenage girl and the inspiring but ultimately ironic idealism of her young white male teacher. Outstanding!
